Lyrics

Count On Me

Count the moment I was born. Count the moment I?ll be mourned.
Count the grades I made in school, count the years I?ve been a fool,
count the ways I play the rules, but you can?t count me.

Count the hairs left on my head. Count the lyin? words I?ve said.
Count the lovers I have known, count the friends have come and gone,
count the time I?ve been alone, but you can?t count me.

Count the debt and tax I owe. Count the things I think I know.
Count my elbows and my knees, count the temp I shoot the breeze,
number all of my IDs, but you can?t count me.

Count both my dollars in the bank. Count the gallon in my tank.
Count the speed I drive the pass, count the dimples on my ass,
top and bottom of my class, but you can?t count me.

But if I know that you?re alone, giving up and going down,
I will scorch the pits of hell with living water from the well,
nurture you ?til you prevail. You can count on me.

If you?re livin? in your dreams, and things are not the way they seem,
let me float you to the ground, if you?re lost you will be found,
you will know love?s all around. You can count on me.

When you turn on your light, break the darkness of my night,
I will walk your lighted way from the darkness to the day,
I will love you all your days. You can count on me.

When you?re lyin? down to die, if you?re wonderin? who you are, or why,
Let your spirit guide you well, I will consecrate your shell,
in my heart your soul will dwell. You can count on me.
